Madrid, without rest and without Benzema for Elche

Without rest and without Karim Benzema. This is how the Real Madrid faces his visit this afternoon (2:00 p.m. / Movistar LaLiga) to Martínez Valero de Elche in the twelfth day of the League. And it is that with today’s game, the whites will play their third game in the last seven days after winning last Sunday at Barcelona at Camp Nou (1-2) and draw at home (0-0) against Osasuna and they will do it without their leader and top scorer. A more than complicated task.

The loss of the Frenchman, who drags a blow since the duel against Barcelona, ​​is not due to more than an act of precaution, such as the one taken with Modric in view of Osasuna, however, it does not mean that those of Ancelotti, to those who have been lacking stuck up, have before them the difficult task of supplying the ‘9’ Gaul.

Vini to the rescue

Thus, the idea of ​​the Italian coach, who for the first time this season will play without his reference player, is to give even more stripes to Vinicius. The Brazilian, during the last games, has been Benzema’s best partner and who, at times, has borne the full weight of the white attack through rapid transitions derived from long balls.

Therefore, before the Elche, it is expected that the ’20’ with his compatriot Rodrygo and a third companion who should come out of between Mariano and Jovic, the lack of punch is made up and three important points are achieved to hunt down the leader of LaLiga, the Real, which leads the whites by three points, although with more game.

The referees and Elche

As it is, the Madrid knows that he will have to work hard to win at Elche, a team with a better squad than last year and that fights, yes, for the same goal, salvation.

Those of Scribe, without casualties, they face without fear and with enthusiasm a match that is not from ‘their’ League but for which they will leave their skin.

The Madrid, to all this, it will continue evaluating with a magnifying glass the referees of both the VAR and the pitch as the club arrives red-hot after the last decisions of Soto Grade in view of Osasuna in which he did not indicate a possible penalty to Vinicius and only allowed four minutes of added time.
